POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I play around with different styles and structures. I enjoy writing; it's my therapy. I hope you enjoy my poetry! Thank you, for stopping by!
Play Thing
Even, in front of the shadows,
You can remain unseen
We'll wonder why
Why the future left us
Why we were left here
Staring at the white flag
Placed before us
With no hands to hold it
Tied behind our backs
Left staring
Wondering why
Knowing how
I spill my heart into a mirror
And watch you stare in wonder
You play this song
Over and over and again
I smile and dance
I suffer through the pain
I pull the string
You shove me to the side
I try to play my own
You leave me here...
You can remain unseen
We'll wonder why
Why the future left us
Why we were left here
Staring at the white flag
Placed before us
With no hands to hold it
Tied behind our backs
Left staring
Wondering why
Knowing how
I spill my heart into a mirror
And watch you stare in wonder
You play this song
Over and over and again
I smile and dance
I suffer through the pain
I pull the string
You shove me to the side
I try to play my own
You leave me here...

Ramble Unto Me
Spinning and spinning
Delusions tossel through perspectives
Rattling around my skull
Give me reason, give me incentive
Rhyme and reason betray the truth
The raw feeling of pain and pleasure
Rage and insecurity
Take me, take me
Take my purity
Your lessons never taught a thing
Aside from the revelation
You were never listening
To a damn thing
Give me purpose, give me anything
Silence and mockery alone
Take my hand and lead me
Show me
Bleed me
Paper wings of angels
Falling harder when they...

Off Your Local Heroin Dealer
it's not fun anymore
just another itch
throw the switch
flush the vein
feel a twitch
then it all goes
it all goes far away
needles in my skin
pokes through the sane
never feeling, no pain
dreams sold in vain
two hundred pounds
four men
three months
one needle
six feet
numbers and numbers
no names, just statistics
nothing is static
everything is evolving
everything is falling
everything is falling apart
standing proud
on another corner
selling...
just another itch
throw the switch
flush the vein
feel a twitch
then it all goes
it all goes far away
needles in my skin
pokes through the sane
never feeling, no pain
dreams sold in vain
two hundred pounds
four men
three months
one needle
six feet
numbers and numbers
no names, just statistics
nothing is static
everything is evolving
everything is falling
everything is falling apart
standing proud

In Your Absence
You're here beside me
Singing to my soul
You're holding my hand
As I continue the path without you
You're here within me
Telling me to live, to smile
You tell me to feel
To love and not hold back
You're there wherever I may wander
As I like to do
And, again, I hear you say
I am never lost, you are in my heart
You're here right now
As I cry and try to write to you
You're telling me to be proud
As you are of me
You're everywhere now
My sun, my moon, my rain
You're...
Singing to my soul
You're holding my hand
As I continue the path without you
You're here within me
Telling me to live, to smile
You tell me to feel
To love and not hold back
You're there wherever I may wander
As I like to do
And, again, I hear you say
I am never lost, you are in my heart
You're here right now
As I cry and try to write to you
You're telling me to be proud
As you are of me
You're everywhere now
My sun, my moon, my rain
You're...

Heavy
All the ghosts say goodnight
The demons come out to play
Turn out the lights
Wait for what the voices have to say
Hit the tip of insanity
Sinking faster each day
Losing sight of reality
Spinning words and no cards left to play
What if it's not what we overcome
It's only how we become numb?
All the hopes and dreams
Bound in pages meant like a prayer
Penance and apologies
To one who was never there
Wretched smiles and empty condolences
Cracked frames imprison the memories
Of long forgotten...
The demons come out to play
Turn out the lights
Wait for what the voices have to say
Hit the tip of insanity
Sinking faster each day
Losing sight of reality
Spinning words and no cards left to play
What if it's not what we overcome
It's only how we become numb?
All the hopes and dreams
Bound in pages meant like a prayer
Penance and apologies
To one who was never there
Wretched smiles and empty condolences
Cracked frames imprison the memories
Of long forgotten...

The Blood of the Covenant
The eyes only bring distraction
Pondering in the dark
The grief turns into procrastination
Left wandering in the heart
Mind is heavy and filling fast
Apologize, yet again, as you spill onto the floor
How selfish is love when inconvenienced
Just blank stares from across the table, anymore
In earnest I plead for light
Empty words from dead books
Flip the switch and light the furnace
Starving from loss and the years it took
To say goobye
Fractured realities bleed into desperation
My soul is lost and I hope...

In earnest I plead for light
Empty words from dead books
Flip the switch and light the furnace
Starving from loss and the years it took
To say goobye
Fractured realities bleed into desperation
My soul is lost and I hope...

Confess
Sit along beside me
Just enjoy the silence
Sit along beside me
Don't ask, child
War is coming
War is coming
War is coming
Isn't it?
Speak to me
Find the center
Sit along beside me
We are on this ride together
Talk about the things
That keep us disconnected
The time is here
The time is here
The time is right
If you'd ask me
Speak to me
Seek the answer
We all doubt exists
Right beside you
Profess, profess
Until you know it's true ...
Just enjoy the silence

Alakazam, Alprazolam
It's just a candle
Can't hurt if it falls to the floor
Pain is just another byproduct
The fire will ignore
It's not bye bye
If you never close the door
It's just another reason
I don't give out the key anymore
In the eyes of contradiction
I might seem a little off
It's only a mental disposition
Expell it with a cough
It's only trauma
Embrace yet another imaginary friend
Drown in another dixie cup
Disassociate till the bitter end
It's another hello
And what are we here for today? ...
